Remember when LSU’s super team ran the tables of college football back in 2019?
That feels like a distant memory now.
Everybody on this planet thought that the 2019 season meant the Tigers were back. The band was playing “Neck” to the student section, Odell Beckham Jr. was throwing money to players after the National Championship, and Ed Orgeron looked like he was officially the golden boy of LSU football.
Well, that didn’t last long.
Coach O’s LSU team underachieved with a ton of talent last season, going 5-5 and missing out on a bowl game due to a self-imposed “bowl ban” amidst an NCAA investigation (convenient that they banned themselves in a season when they were 5-5).
Then to start out the 2021 season, the Tigers took a surprising L to UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Saturday by a score of 38-27. Orgeron has seemingly fallen from grace, going from the King’s throne to the hot seat in only two short years.
And to make matters worse, the man was talkin’ some sh*t about UCLA before the game even started.
Coach O was caught on video, walking into the Rose Bowl and trolling a chirping UCLA fan:
“Bring your ass on, in your sissy blue shirt.”
In case you don’t know, he’s talking about the baby blue colors of UCLA… And of course, that didn’t age well.
After the footage went viral, UCLA players took the bull by the horns, and have been trolling the absolute hell outta Coach O the past couple of days.
UCLA’s recruiting Twitter account kicked things off:

Even the players have been adding a lil’ Cajun twist to celebrate their win on social media:

And obviously the fans jumped in too:

But the dagger came from UCLA Football’s official Twitter account, which briefly changed their header to troll Coach O after the win:
After beating LSU, UCLA did not hesitate to troll Ed Orgeron for his "sissy blue shirt" comment to a Bruins fan.

Tough scene, LSU. Y’all thought y’all were back.
